Very great class for what we are going through in schools now. I really felt the information was informative and will help me in understanding the LGBTQ students in a better way.

I thought I was fairly well-informed on this topic, but this class provided more depth of understanding. Further, it gave me ideas for immediate actions I can take in my own classroom.
